Truck No. 02 history[edit]
This truck was the third truck ran by the team. After struggled to make the field with few owners points, the team made a partnership with Young's Motorsports but competed under the Austin Hill Racing banner, using Young's owners points.

Merging With Young’s Motorsports[edit]
After the 2016 season, Austin Hill Racing, using his equipment, made a partnership with Young's Motorsports to drive the No. 02 (which had enough owners points to lock the team in the races).

In 2018, Austin Hill competed full-time for Young's Motorsports, he drove the No. 02 Chevrolet in all races.
